We had a busy weekend -- a trip to Home Depot, home projects and a wedding reception for my friend Sandra and her new husband Drew.
D worked nonstop on the laundry room and I'm happy to report that the space is 90% complete! He let me help out with the new flooring on Saturday night. It's peel-and-stick vinyl from Home Depot that looks and feels a lot like bamboo wood. I love real bamboo flooring but after seeing it installed in friends' homes and realizing that it dents like crazy, we went with the peel-and-stick option. This area is pretty high-traffic so we can't afford any dents and scratches. Each box was about $42 for 25 square feet and we used 3 boxes.
Standing on the stairs looking down on the little hallway. Laundry room on left, D's office door in front and garage door to the right. This area is tight on space so D is installing a pocket door in the laundry room. The original door opened into the room and blocked the washing machine.
It went down pretty easily. Each piece sticks to the others, so it floats above the sub-floor. D cut the pieces with a razor blade, we placed them down and then used a mini-roller to ensure the planks stuck to each other securely. D does all the cutting because I cannot be trusted with precise measurements!
I know the yellow looks a little crazy here but trust me, we toned down the bright hue by putting up shelving and getting the new sink and base cabinet in there.
